Alter Tradition

So most of the weddings you go to the Bride is on the left and the Groom on the right... ever wonder the reason?!? Well  back in the day many thought it was all fun and games to kidnap the bride. By standing on the right side it kept the right hand, in most cases ones sward hand, available in the event of a jealous attack  and to protect from kidnapping...

Too bad Josh is left handed... I might need to check on his right handed fighting skills...

DYK bachelor style

Stag parties were held by ancient Spartan soldiers, who kissed their bachelor days goodbye with a raucous party.  I guess eventually the girls got jealous and wanted to party too?!? Also, in many cultures, the groom historically kidnapped the bride with the help of friends... hence moden-day groomsmen...
